Song background:

The Christian hymn, “In the Garden” is an Easter/Spring hymn that explores the intimate connection between us and God (or Jesus). Its significant draws inspiration from the biblical account of Mary Magdalene’s encounter with the risen Lord, Jesus Christ. (According to Google AI.)

As I was making this arrangement, I ponder how Mary Magdalene felt has she saw Jesus Christ like it was the first time he saw him “in the garden” by the tomb he was laid. That must have been a thrilled visit.

It really makes sense why I looked up some hymns that represents women. Google suggested this hymn. So I arranged it for 1st and 2nd Sopranos and Altos and piano for its significance.

The arrangement is perfect for Easter if you have an all female choir getting ready for Easter. It will probably be one of the most powerful arrangements because of the dynamics getting loud at the end.

Hope you enjoy my arrangement of the “In the Garden”.
